So Em.....I presume they didn't bring a ballcock today either?...... B)

Bah! Nope, no ballcocks. But there are SIX big guys on my roof right now....I think they sent so many to get it done pronto, before any rain starts up. So far, so good. <_<

MY SPELL CK ISN'T WORKING. I GET A HAND WITH A FINGER WITH THE STAR OVER IT WHEN I HIT THE ADD BUTTON. WHAT THE HELL?????

Judy! I believe that is a little miraculous sign from God, letting you know he's there for you...... :lol::rolleyes:

I thought you-all would be proud of me for not making snarky comments in other threads :rolleyes:

I figured Ckought wouldn't want his lovely forum degenerating into a free-for-all of tangential, abstract snips.

Hey, ya'll speak for yourselves! <_< I like snarky! :D

Do you have to 'vote' newbies in??? :unsure:

Oh no! This does not sound good :( Nikki, if you can't get any water into him or he keeps throwing it up, you need to get him to the vet for an IV fluid. We had to do this with Allo once when he was young--the vet said that not drinking for 24 hours is an emergency.

The good news is that he came home later that evening looking like a camel (the fluids build up under the skin and disperse from there) and recovered completely. :)

Keep us posted on the wee one.

Although I realized I wouldn't object if I were allowed to end every post with something like "There are no omnipotent beings spending every moment of their existence focusing on just you, so maybe you should take some time to learn to take care of yourself."

I mean, just look at Judy's flowers - omnipotent beings clearly have better things to do than sit around and listen to us whine.

Poor baby :(

May I suggest some watered down baby food in that syringe? Sometimes a little substance can help.

Nikki! Poor wee Barphin' Boris.....! :( Do keep us posted........

The less weight a creature is, the less time he can manage without fluid. I agree with Patti - - should take him to the vet tomorrow am if he hasn't consumed SOMETHING......

I believe I could manage quite a while, thank you..... <_<

Well, when she willingly displayed her heiny (and her bathroom) after a night of absinthe debauchery I figured she either had a great body (image) or a very poor memory...

Guys I am so excited...this is our week sans-baby....and we have so many phun things planned! We are going to see 1-legged Dave our old lab buddy tonight for dinner. I miss him the most from the lab, everyone hates this man, he turned out to be the best friend John and I ever made down there. Everyone told me, he will be civil to you for 1 year and then he will turn on you....well 5 years later he was at my wedding, his daughter was my flower girl....Guess I proved them wrong :)

Then Jen has a babysitter for the evening and she and John and I are heading to the casino. I still like Atlantic City much better than our PA casinos since there is more to do. But this is still a fun night out. I think it is nice for Jen to go out every now and again as well. Next weekend she is coming home to my moms again. We are doing the county fair and that kind of funs tuff.

Well time to head out of here. Bye Bye Sillies!

Where is everybody?? :unsure:

So, I'm outside this evening, weeding and going along great guns when I pull this good-sized weed out from under a shrub......and an entire colony of ground bees come pouring out! :o I drop my shovel, run towards the porch, dropping my gardening gloves and waving my arms to try and keep the bees away (quite a sight, I'm sure :blink: )

Luckily, I only got one sting--the little sucker stung me right through my jeans! :huh::angry: It still hurts a little :(

I have to say I'm enjoying the weaving, meandering conversations lately......spilling over into email and encompassing other threads.....

Then here we go .. .

No one moderator has more 'rights' than any other moderator here.

That's what they want you to think.

We were at the store until 7. When we got home, I made dinner and we dined out on the deck, where we still are. I have the laptop out here on the table.

We're still struggling with staffing issues. We had a temporary person, already trained, whom we expected to stay with us until LaboUr day, but he found a better job for the rest of the summer, and today was his last. We are training a university student (local), but he won't be ready to work alone for at least a couple of weeks. So for the short term, one (or both) of us has to be there all day every day. :(

Nikki, the advice you have already had about Boris is good. Kittens are fragile, and dehydration is very serious.

Judy, I love your flowers.

Open Original Shared Link There are four in the Vancouver area and two in Greater Toronto. The closest one to me is the Avenue Road location, just north of Bloor, and I have not been there. I seem to be surviving with other more conveniently located stores. But I will have to visit one of these days. Maybe they will eventually come to Ottawa. :huh:

      Family education

      By sillyyak52 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over a year ago. I never had any gastrointestinal symptoms before I started eating gluten free, and the diagnosis did come somewhat as a shock. The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were fatigue, and an ongoing Iron and Vitamin D deficiency that worsened even when taking supplements. I visited my GP with these symptoms, which consequently led to a positive celiac blood test and eventually a positive biopsy. Since starting the gluten free diet, I no longer have any deficiencies or unexplained fatigue. When I am glutened now, I experience bloating, severe constipation (that often affects my sleep!) and an onset of fatigue.  My family does not believe that I actually have celiac disease, and thinks that all these symptoms are a 'placebo' effect of being told the 'wrong' diagnosis. Ever since my diagnosis, they have constantly been telling me that I should seek a second opinion. I really don't see the point of getting a second opinion. I trust that the blood test and biopsy were accurate, and the improvement in my blood tests, fatigue and the symptoms I experience now when I now accidentally consume gluten are enough for me. On top of that, if I were to seek a second opinion now, I believe I would need to do a gluten challenge to get an accurate diagnosis, which I am definitely not willing to do just to please my family.  Because they don't believe in my diagnosis, they think that I take the diet 'too seriously'. They are always comparing my celiac disease to my siblings' mild peanut allergy, and it is so exhausting trying to explain it when they just look at me like I am crazy. For example, since my siblings can eat products with 'may contain peanuts' with no issues, they tell me I am ridiculous for avoiding 'may contain gluten' products when possible.  I am also very careful about cross-contact in restaurants, which they will make similar comments about. I have been told are that "I need to stop being so fussy because I live in the real world". Recently, when I did not want to buy my birthday cake from a local bakery that confirmed their gluten free items are not coeliac-safe, my family told me "Well, who cares? They said it's gluten free. What more could you want? Do you need to take them to court to prove it's gluten free so you'll eat it?" It is truly so upsetting that after a year they have made no effort to understand celiac disease, and why I am so strict or 'fussy'. I have thought about giving them information to read, but my mom never ever reads anything. Not even her own emails, and will often make me read things and summarise them for her. She is honestly the one who is most difficult and very obviously still sees my celiac disease as something that I choose to believe.  How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.
